Scottee is a artist and Artistic Director of Scottee & Friends Ltd, working across theatre, fine art and installation with no formal education.
In 2010, as an emerging artist he won the title of Time Out Performer of the Year, since then he has been creating provocative work for audiences across UK, Europe, Australia, Japan and the US. His debut solo tour The Worst of Scottee won the prestigious Total Theatre Award in 2014. In 2016 he was included on Inde-pendent’s Rainbow List as one of Britain’s most influential LGBTQI+ people.
Scottee’s critically acclaimed Putting Words in Your Mouth uncovered a queer community turning to neo-nationalist groups and was named one of Matt True-man’s top shows of 2017. This quickly fol-lowed sell-out tour and his first stage text Bravado exploring working class mascu-linity. Currently touring award winning Fat Blokes and critically acclaimed Class.
Scottee is co-host on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends. His debut radio documen-tary My Big Fat Documentary was made BBC Radio 4’s Documentary of the Week. Scottee has since appeared on Front Row, BBC Radio 3’s The Verb & Free Thinking. In 2018 he made a short documentary for BBC Three on street abuse titled Fat & Fabulous and The Gamble for BBC Radio 4 on autobiographical art and Bog Stan-dard on toilet space for BBC Sounds.
Scottee is not easily definable, his work is brash, political and will often purposefully leave you a bit annoyed, overwhelmed but never impartial.
